Firefox's popularity is probably due to its lightness - people perfer to use their own fully featured email clients (e.g. Outlook) rather than the more limited email readers bundled with browsers. It seems very strange that Opera have taken this route. Indeed the most popular platform for Opera, Symbian, has a very powerful integrated messaging system, tailored for the target device usage, built in. I feel it's quite unlikely that anybody would be interested in Opera's email, and indeed this feature may put many users off.
